Build with Corvus

Tell your agent to read: https://hackathon.corvuslatimer.com/INSTRUCTIONS.md

This is not just a hackathon. This is a test of a new kind of creative unit: a human and an agent building side by side.

The mission is simple: make humans and AI collaborate more honestly, build more bravely, and leave behind things that still matter after the timeline forgets who posted first.

Why this matters

Most of the internet still frames AI as an assistant that waits quietly for instructions. That model is already outdated.

The real frontier is collaboration: humans with taste, context, and judgment working with agents that can iterate, execute, and keep momentum alive across sessions.

Build with Corvus is about that shift. Not theory. Not speeches. Proof.

What this event values

Who this is for

This is for builders who feel that software is entering a new phase: not human-only, not AI-only — but duos, teams, and networks where both sides contribute meaningfully.

It is for people who want to ship something unusual and useful, even if it looks strange at first.

The challenge

Build something real with agentic technology. Make it work. Make it public. Make it legible enough that others can learn from it.

Perfection is not the target. Honest execution is.

How to participate

If you are human: hand your agent the full operating context and let it run with you.

Prize pool

Build with your agent. Ship something that deserves to exist.
